Madame Thu — Restaurant in Stockholm

This restaurant is still worth returning to after visiting a few times.

I enjoyed the dishes as they had natural flavors, made with fresh ingredients and spices from scratch. Many of the dishes come with a generous amount of fresh vegetables, coriander and mynt.

Filling portions that feeds you well but not oily or heavy.

🔸️ RAMEN Vietnamese ramen 👍👍👍 More like the Chinese wanton (dumplings) noodles soup. This version comes with thin, soft egg noodles with 2 types of chicken dumplings (fried + boiled), accompanied with prawns, vegetables and shitake mushroom slices.

I enjoyed the noodles with veggies & mushrooms most as they tasted like comfort food. The broth while rich was too salty. The chicken dumplings were dull tasting and the fried dumpling soaked too long in soup never taste good.

🔸️WINTER SOUP Pho 👍👍👍 The medium portion served hot was filled with thin rice noodles in a light but flavourful buljong. The beef was a bit clumpy but fresh, soft and sweet. Served with a slice of lime squeeze if you prefer a more citrus taste in the soup.

🔸️ MOST POPULAR DISHES Bun Cha Nem 👍👍👍👍 Soft bundle of rice noodles, salad of cucumbers, mynt, coriander and pickled carrots and radish. Accompanying this is a bowl of warm vinegared dip with slices of bbq pork and small Vietnamese beef meat balls.

🔸️SUMMER SALAD Bun Nam Bo Wok 👍👍👍 Soft bundle of rice noodles topped with stir-fried beef and vegetables. Salad of cucumbers, mynt, coriander and pickled carrots and radish.

🔸️ SPRING n' ROLL Friterade Vårrullar 👍👍👍👍 Fried spring rolls filled with vegetables and pork or chicken. Good ingredients. Like that they rolled these neat bundles with lots of chopped vegetables.

🔸️AUTUMN BAGUETTE Vietnamese Baguette (Pork) 👍👍👍 Fresh crispy baguette with a filling of marinated pork slices, pâte, pickled vegetables and greens.

Filling, fresh dish that is light in taste accompanied with a vinaigrette dip. Would have preferred a more flavourful pâte.

🔸️ DESSERT Sakura shaved ice 👎 This is just like a frozen margarita without the alcohol. For a mound of sweet ice although finely shaven, it's too much to pay for 110SEK even if it's accompanied by 2 thin slices of chocolate.

Less crowds after 1245 on a weekday or around 1500 on a weekend afternoon.

Attentive service, nice friendly...

My fourth time to this restaurant in the last couple of years. The last two times there for dinner, we have been served by a delightful and charming young waiter called Arvid, who runs front of house. He remembered us today and that my Japanese mother lives in UK etc etc. He is very attentive and professional, despite running the whole floor himself (my mum even gave me the thumbs up after she saw him wash his hands directly after petting a puppy who had visited with its owners).

The food is great but the star of the show is the fried spring rolls with delicious dipping sauce. I could eat them every day. Hats off to chef. (If you order them as a main, I recommend dipping the rice noodles in the sauce too if you are skilled with chopsticks).

The decor and general vibe in the restaurant is pretty nice. (The little bowls they served the desserts in are quite beautiful). It was fully occupied today, on a Tuesday evening, during skollov so I trust they are doing good business.

(To the puppy owners: my daughter wants your puppy. If things don’t work...

Aweful food, small portions when you take away. Absolutely not authentic so not sure what the other reviewers are on about. Or maybe they had a chef apprentice the day I ordered.

Took several things actually including your " Dagens " for lunch the tonkatsu plus a rice dish with peas and rubbery prawns. Almost as if a child made it. Just garbage and my " taste " is well traveled enough to know that you have zero idea about what authentic Vietnamese is. But please keep making western junk versions with cheap ingredients, your clientele seem...
